The vague consciousness slowly emerged from beneath the dark water, and a ray of light projected down, awakening the sleeping dream.
When Ji Mian woke up, his temples were stinging. In a daze, he had only one thought:
Oops, did I scare that Alpha just now
Ji Mian tilted his head.
A young man with black hair and brown eyes squatted beside the bed, his head lowered, motionless.
Ji Mian: Looks like he fell asleep.
Just as he was about to stand up, Chu Shiye beside him suddenly raised his head and said, "Don't move."
He held Ji Mian's shoulders, lifted the quilt that had slipped off, and covered Ji Mian's chin tightly.
Ji Mian wanted to say something, but Chu Shiye quickly stood up and ran to the kitchen to bring back a bowl of medicine.
The medicine had cooled down and tasted bitter. Ji Mian said, "Actually, I'm fine now."
Chu Shiye opened his palm without saying a word, on which lay two candies.
Ji Mian said nothing, took the candy first, then picked up the bowl.
Chu Shiye watched him finish drinking the bowl of medicine, then carefully weighed the corner of his quilt, fearing that if he covered himself with less quilt, he would get sick and catch a cold.
Ji Mian held a candy in his mouth and hugged the quilt: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Chu Shiye said "hmm", and it was unclear whether he heard it or not. His eyes were fixed on Ji Mian, not moving an inch.
By the way, stuff his hands back into the quilt, cover them up, and don't let him stretch them out.
You will catch a cold.
Ji Mian blinked and decided to change the subject: "Did you suffer any serious injuries when you were a child?"
Chu Shiye looked at him and recalled for a few seconds: "They are all minor injuries, not serious."
"So," Ji Mian coaxed, "did anything special happen at that time?"
Chu Shiye was silent for a moment, then looked him in the eyes: "Is there something wrong with my mental strength?"
"No," Ji Mian's expression remained unchanged, "There is nothing wrong with your mental strength, but I am not strong enough to help you well."
Chu Shiye: "You have helped me a lot."
He sounded a little depressed when he said this.
Ji Mian tilted his head: "Lower your head."
Chu Shiye didn't understand and lowered his head obediently.
Ji Mian quickly stretched out his hand from under the quilt, rubbed his head, and said, "Comfort the child, don't be sad."
Chu Shiye: “…”
Chu Shiye said sullenly: "I'm not a child."
Ji Mian smiled and said, "But you still call me brother."
Chu Shiye suddenly fell silent.
But he still stared at Ji Mian without blinking, guarding him.
Ji Mian lay under his gaze for a while and asked, "What time is it?"
Chu Shiye: "Eight o'clock in the morning."
Ji Mian exclaimed, "Ah!" and threw back the quilt: "I have to go to work."
Chu Shiye: “!”
He pushed Ji Mian back and said, "Don't go. Take a day off."
"But I'm fine." Ji Mian spread his hands, "There's nothing wrong."
Chu Shiye wanted to say something, but Ji Mian said calmly, "Do you think Omegas are weak, so you are so concerned about me?"
Chu Shiye immediately said: "I never thought about it that way."
"only… "
I just hope you're okay.
Chu Shiye pursed his lips slightly and didn't say the rest of the sentence.
